Diesel Service Facility Part 1 - Prototype and Mock up

[@freakazoid5907]

great call using Sketchup to mock up the layout, I had never considered doing that. Thanks for posting, the videos are great.

[@BoxcarJerry]

Looking forward to this build , I like what you're planning . The engine shed you mocked up is going to be nice .

[@JoeyBPhotography]

Thanks! Yeah I'm psyched about it

I really enjoyed Part 1 Joey, looks like it is going to be a very interesting project series. Thanks for bringing this to us!

[@toddfeldpausch9489]

I’m super happy to see your content in my feed again! Definitely looking forward to your build and all future videos.

[@JoeyBPhotography]

Thanks! This is going to be a fun one to share

[@houseofrandomness]

This is gonna be a great diorama. Looking forward to the progress.

[@JoeyBPhotography]

It's going to be a fun one for sure

[@jimbarrett1975]

Great stuff. I was looking at Sioux Falls as a potential project base a couple of days ago - I'm looking forward to seeing this develop.

[@shawnpowell5876]

Great video and tutorial of your diorama you're doing! The layout placement I think looks good as well. Look fwd to seeing your next video of what's going on w it! Cheers from Delmar, Delaware

[@mattw9667]

Nice process. Sketchup is a great bit of software for sure!

[@JoeyBPhotography]

Agreed!

[@coffeebuzzard]

Looking good

[@JoeyBPhotography]

Thanks 👍

Are you going to include the highway overpass in your diorama? I think it would be a great "frame" element on the right side of the diroama.

[@JoeyBPhotography]

No, there won't be enough room for it in the space I've alotted

[@davestrains6816]

Looks awesome!

In this video you use a map a to view and measure the engine facility. What were you using and how did you get the 3D views; they were cool and useful. Thanks. Looking forward to this build. I bet ths info would be a big hit on the Second Section Podcast.

[@JoeyBPhotography]

Google maps (in a desktop web browser) already has the 3d buildings for Sioux Falls, so I just needed to rotate the camera view. As for measurements, you can right-click anywhere on the map and choose the measurement option from the list of menu items.

[@154Colin]

@@JoeyBPhotography Thanks. While Sioux Falls is 3D other places like Marion, IL are 2D; why?

[@JoeyBPhotography]

@Colin King it all depends on if Google maps has 3d models for that area. A lot of places still only have 2D

[@Caboose121]

Hey where's the yellow? 😆 it's looking good Joey!

[@bncsystemsshortline]

Wow what an awesome diorama. I just subbed ya and can't wait to watch the progress.

[@JoeyBPhotography]

Thanks! I can't wait to work on more of this and share it out

[@bncsystemsshortline]

Awesome man!!!! @@JoeyBPhotography

[@georgiasunbelt]

Nice stuff Joey…learn about something new every time you post…never heard of that sketch software

[@robertschmidt6383]

I'm thinking you should mount that table on a large lazy Susan so you can turn it 360 degrees. Then you can see it from any angle just by turning the table as a whole.

[@JoeyBPhotography]

Hah, no need, it's on casters so I can spin and roll it around already
